PrintFrom a Mark Bowman Tweet:
Morton hit Heyward with an offspeed pitch. Early indication is that the baseball survived the impact.
Classic. Other than the hit-by-pitch, Heyward was 0-for-2 on the day, a grounder to third and a pop fly to short. So he's mortal after all...

It was probably Heyward’s force of gravity that pulled the ball into a collision course.
"Baseball is the only major sport that appears backwards in a mirror." ~George Carlin
exactly……its not fair that he has to hit balls extra hard to get them out of his own gravitational pull…
Pujols is NOT God.... sure he'll hit .350, hit 50 bombs, and drive in a 125....but then again...so will Heyward..

obligatory jab at Frenchy post:
the pitch that hit Heyward was the exact same pitch Francoeur would’ve struck out on … offspeed and in the left-handed hitter’s box
Or at least jumped out of the way of….can’t have those HBPs screwing with his OBP. Lower OBP is better, right? Actually, it doesn’t matter. If it were important, they’d display it on the score board.

The pitch that hits Heyward will hit the pinstripes he’ll be wearing in a few years.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
hmm..

SEND HIM TO ROME!
He didn’t get hit everytime up???? What a joke of a player…. jk, J hey is the man. I get pumped even when he draws a walk.
the news here is the ball that hits J- Hey...
what about the ball ???? completely pulverize…….. i guess, poor ball , some particles still in his uniform .
I saw this in the Yahoo Sports writeup of today’s ST game:
NOTES: Rookie Jordan Heyward went 0 for 2 but hit the ball solidly both times. He hasn’t swung and missed on a pitch in three games.
I’ll let the ‘wrong first name’ thing slide for the time being. I was just curious if the second part of that statement is accurate. Has Heyward literally not missed the ball on any of his swings?
nope. he’s either put it in play or fouled it off.

What if its a repeat offense on the same website? From the photo section of the Braves Yahoo page:
Atlanta Braves batter Justin Heyward avoids being hit by a pitch during the second inning of a spring training baseball game against the New York Mets, Wednesday, March 3, 2010, in Kissimmee, Fla.

Was the photo from the Associated Press
They got his name wrong in the photo of his catch in right field yesterday. Also was Justin….

This Jack Heyward should be a helluva ballplayer.

They were making fun of the newsblast guy on 680
Because he mentioned that Jason Howard would be hitting second in the Braves’ line-up today.
It’s great to see Yahoo! heaping all of that praise on Jasper Heyward

If anyone is worthy of the praise, its Jermaine Haygood.

Jacob Heygood
Been calling him that for weeks, it always makes me laugh. Kinda like that Mark Stanford guy from UGA.
Don't get me wrong...
I can’t wait to see Jason Heyward succeed at the MLB level and I have high hopes for him. BUT, do we really have to read into every fucking thing he does? “Heyward went 0-2, Hes mortal” seriously, just chill out. Everyone should just let Heyward do him in Spring Training and be our starting RF. But really, all of this hype is kinda annoying.
MATT DIAZ IS THE F**K*NG MAN.
They made me change my signature...
We're talking about a guy
With hall of fame potential so….well, well what do you expect?
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.

If hype annoys you… then don’t bother reading baseball blogs. Fans seem to get, well … fanatical, about their team and players.
Sorry that we’re annoying you… Hey guys, lets not get excited about the #1 prospect in baseball, okay?
J/k Nick, well kind of…
I'm freaking hyped!
If this kid doesn’t make you stay awake at night thinking about this season you’re dead!
I get pumped just thinking about the possibilities…

Jason Heyward – Even though Y! Fantasy Baseball is now free, we’re thinking about charging a small Heyward fee. You’ll pay. He’s that good.
Andy Behrens, a Yahoo! Fantasy person
That made me lol
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
What is the date that they can promote him and avoid the super-two? I could live with Diaz in RF for a month.
Here are Pujols's stats: 1.000/1.000/4.000/5.000. That's right. He is batting a thousand, with a thousand OBP (naturally), and every hit has been a home run, and thus his OPS is a perfect 5.000.
there was an interesting article sayign if we keep him down for 2 weeks we would get one extra year of Heyward . He would still be a Super Two, but based on service time we would get one more year if we keep him down for two weeks.
Here is the article from Rob Neyer
http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/2606/should-braves-keep-heyward-in-holding-pattern
but to avoid Super Two, he would probably have to wait until June sometime, which is two months and thats a long time, to keep him down IF he is ready
Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?
